This week I’ve been obsessed with a certain news story out of Glasgow, so I just had to do a podcast. Also, the episode I’d originally scheduled is running late — and that’s my fault.

In this episode we talk about Laurie Anderson’s weird AI experiment, various other gripes about AI, politics, and alcohol pricing. There’s audience feedback. There’s a long whinge which might be interpreted by some as a defence of capitalism, but it’s really a defence of the Industrial Revolution. And we ask whether eggs are the same as gin.
